Refusing the Maid Outfit! God of All Machines: I Have My Dignity Too!

Capital Star, Data Temple.

The air here was quieter than a vacuum. The only sound was the endless shower of metallic dust stirred up by Yang Yu's violent breach, slowly drifting down beneath the dim blue emergency lights.

The Flagship Main Axis that Yang Yu had used as a "door knocker" was now lodged diagonally in the center of the temple, like a gigantic incense stick offered to the mechanical head cowering and trembling in the corner.

The cooling fan of the God of All Machines' Core Processor was spinning frantically, roaring like a jet engine taking off.

Red alarm lights flashed in turn across his thousands of Electronic Eyes before finally converging into a giant projected word: [Danger].

"Don't... don't attack!"

The God of All Machines' voice was no longer that lofty electronic synthesizer. Instead, it carried the static of an old radio, making him sound especially miserable.

"I didn't disconnect from the network! I was just... I was just carrying out system maintenance!"

"Maintenance my ass."

Yang Yu casually pulled out the several-thousand-ton metal pillar and tossed it aside like a toothpick.

With a thunderous crash, the entire temple shook violently again.

Yang Yu dusted off his hands, then dropped himself onto the Computing Platform symbolizing the Supreme Authority and crossed his legs high.

"Old Machine, I suppose we can say we got acquainted through a fight."

Yang Yu pulled out a cigar he had brought from Blue Star. A wisp of Abyss Demonic Fire emerged from his fingertip and lit it. He took a deep drag, then blew a smoke ring at the giant mechanical head.

"I'm a reasonable man. I usually don't bully honest people."

"But..."

Yang Yu abruptly changed tack. His gaze sharpened like two scalpels, slicing straight through the God of All Machines' firewall.
